Core i7 920 (will be overclocked)
Either a 4870x2 or 2 4870's (x2 got RMA'd, hoping visiontek replaces it even though I changed out the thermal paste).
Now I am trying to find out what is best. Would a triple rad go on the cpu or the gpu's or can a triple handle the load from the x2 and i7 together?

We need more info. Pump used? Blocks used? Fans intended for use?

Your right.
Apogee GTZ cpu block
EK-FC4870 X2 GPU block or 2 4870 blocks
MCP655 or MCP355 pump
Scythe SFF21F fans
Also if anyone has a Dual rad in the front on a Cosmos S case, i would like to know how you mounted it (don't think its just standing there).

I have seen a dual rad or a GTX 240 in the bottom of the case in front of the PSU but not in the bay area.

Definitely cannot handle the heat load of both, i7s alone are really hot. 4870x2 also runs considerably hot, one triple for the i7 and a double for the 4870 I would say.

A triple can handle that sort of load (depending on the fans used, of course), but the OP's loop would be on the warm side of life. I was able to get my temps back to where I want them by adding a thick 120 being pushed by a 120x38mm at maybe 7-volts. Mine is one big loop.

Does anyone have pictures of this? I would actuallylike to add a Dual Rad to the inside but having trouble where to mount it.
